Dear Symantec,
When I import the VMXNet3 (and other ESXi 5.5 drivers) into DA within GSS 3.0, it seems to have imported the driver, but the driver seems not to be picked up by Windows. I have been running around in ever-decreasing circles, until I found this in the DriversDB Driver Manifest file:
{
"VMXNet3" = {
class = network,
drivers = ({
path = "VMXNet3\\vmxnet3ndis6.inf",
devices = {
0x15ad = {
0x7b0 = (-0x1)
}
},
os = ("2003""2008""VISTA""WINDOWS7""WINDOWS8""WINDOWS8_1""X64_2003""X64_2008""X64_2008_R2""X64_2012""X64_2012_R2""X64_VISTA""X64_WINDOWS7""X64_WINDOWS8""X64_WINDOWS8_1""X64_XP""XP"),
architecture = (X86 AMD64),
files = ("vmxnet3ndis6.inf""vmxnet3n61x86.sys""vmxnet3n61x64.sys""vmxnet3ndis6.cat")
}),
internal = 0
}
}
All seems to be OK, but I noticed that all of the affected drivers have the following line:
0x7b0 = (-0x1)
Which I think (-0x1) looks like a NULL value!
Is the driver being uploaded improperly? What should the right value to the right of the equals and is there a fix to this?
I see no fixes for this in the HF1 and I am loathe to upgrade if there is not an issue that can be fixed with a patch.
Kindest regards,
